Filing Despite the Obstacles It used to be that a veteran could literally put a name and phone number on a piece of paper, write a line or two about wanting to file a claim, and the Department of Veterans Affairs would be responsible for getting in touch to help fill out a form. The start date began when that first correspondence was received, and the veteran had a year to finish sending the information. Now back-of-the-envelope filing is no more. As of March 2015, claims must follow a set of new requirements and be on specific forms to be considered. As a result, a second lawsuit has been filed against the VA. Disabled American Veterans and Veterans of Foreign Wars have added their voice to a suit filed earlier by the American Legion, Vietnam Veterans of America, AMVETS and the National Veterans Legal Services Program. Their objection: Veterans who can t access the online forms or who cannot fill them out not only lose benefits, but lose the start date on the claim. Best advice: Find someone to help you go online and start a file, either a VSO, your grandchild, the chaplain at your American Legion Post or your attorney s secretary. You ll then have a year to complete the information. Online, look for Form , which is your Intent to File. Fill it out and send to your regional benefits office. Then you ll need Form EZ, the form for officially filing your claim. If that s impossible right now, call the VA at and say that you intend to file. They ll have to take your initial info over the phone. You then have a year to follow up King Features Synd., Inc.

8 Page B8 samoa news, Thursday, May 21, 2015 visit samoa news samoanews.com Classifieds Cartoons aloha briefs & More Alapati Heat Man Aasa eyes next big step in his career C Y M K LONDON (AP) IOC President Thomas Bach is keeping Marius Vizer waiting on his invitation for a clear-the-air meeting. Vizer, who heads the umbrella body SportAccord, wrote to Bach on Tuesday asking for a meeting to mend fences following his blistering attack on the International Olympic Committee in Sochi last month. At least a dozen sports federations have suspended or cut ties with SportAccord in protest over Vizer s speech, with rowing and modern pentathlon the latest to withdraw on Wednesday. Bach replied to Vizer s invitation on Wednesday, saying he would need to discuss the matter with his executive board and the representatives of our main stakeholders, in this case, the international federations. A copy of Bach s letter was obtained by The Associated Press. As the president, I have the obligation to express the opinion of my organization rather than just a personal one, Bach said. Therefore, I will come back to you after the next IOC executive board meeting. The next board meeting is scheduled for June 7-8 in Lausanne, Switzerland. In Vizer s letter, also obtained by the AP, he said a meeting with Bach would be for the benefit and the unity of the world sports movement and also for the clarification of some essential aspects in the activity and development of the sport family. Vizer asked Bach for a place and dates that would be convenient. Separately, Vizer also requested a meeting with the Association of Summer Olympic International Federations, which represents the 28 sports in the games. Bach s non-committal reply indicated he would not be dictated by Vizer s wishes and Alapati Aasa. [photo SN] Thomas Bach to Marius Vizer I ll get back to you later preferred to deal with him from a position of strength with the backing of his board and the federations. SportAccord represents a grouping of about 100 Olympic and non-olympic sports federations. It also organizes some multi-sports events, such as the World Combat Games. Vizer, who also heads the international judo federation, has been increasingly isolated since delivering his strongly-worded speech at the opening of the SportAccord convention in Sochi a month ago. Vizer called the IOC system expired, outdated, wrong, unfair and not at all transparent, said Bach s reform program was of little use to the federations and accused him of blocking SportAccord s plans for more multi-sports competitions. ASOIF and at least 12 individual federations have suspended ties with SportAccord. Vizer has accused the IOC of pressuring them to leave. The rowing and modern pentathlon federations announced their withdrawal Wednesday. They follow weightlifting, triathlon, wrestling, taekwondo, boxing, athletics, archery, canoeing, shooting and bobsled in suspending or cutting relations with SportAccord. Others are expected to follow suit. Boxing and taekwondo have also pulled out of the 2017 World Combat Games in Lima, Peru. The IOC has had a tense relationship with Vizer ever since he was elected in 2013 to succeed former cycling federation president Hein Verbruggen as head of SportAccord. Vizer ruffled Olympic leaders by proposing to organize a United World Championships for all federations every four years, a potential direct challenge to the IOC and the Olympics. The plan has never materialized. by Ausage Fausia, Samoa News Reporter The coach/trainer for American Samoa s undefeated professional boxer Alapati Heat Man Aasa Toleafoa Henry Tavake confirmed to Samoa News last week that Aasa will be facing a huge challenge in his boxing career, when he fights an opponent from New Zealand for the vacant South Pacific cruiserweight championship in October The chance for Aasa to fight for a championship is coming and it s something that we ve being waiting for we re not looking at this as a joke or just a task to fulfill we re taking it seriously, and we will go in to get it, Toleafoa said. According to Toleafoa, the vacant South Pacific cruiserweight championship was previously held by Seiaute Mailata of Samoa, who was retired last year, and the championship is now on the line for some of the top boxers from the cruiserweight division in the South Pacific to compete. Preparations for Aasa s big challenge of his boxing career are still on fire and we ll be looking to make sure that he will not miss this chance in his life, Toleafoa added. Opportunity only comes once in a lifetime, and when Aasa get that chance at the end of this year, I promise that he will give all his best for American Samoa and the Tapuaiga, said Toleafoa. Putting up his undefeated record of 9-0 with 5 wins by knockout, Aasa will be favored by many boxing fans due to his powerful left and hard punches. When asked by Samoa News about a chance to have a fight before the end of this year between Aasa and the hard puncher Samoan born Vaitele Soi, who is training in New Zealand, Toleafoa said that there will never be a fight between Aasa and Soi. I don t see any chance to have a fight it s about them (Aasa and Soi) moving up to the next level, he said. When asked by Samoa News to clarify his position, Toleafoa stated that Aasa needs to move on for his boxing records, and he needs to fight other fighters rather than to keep fighting against his Samoan brothers. Fighting against his Samoan brothers is not a good idea for him anymore, he fought a lot of them in the past and he defeated them all, so, it s about time for Aasa to look for white and black opponents, Toleafoa said with a laugh. I thank all the Samoan fighters from Apia who gave Aasa the opportunity to fight him and build up his boxing record. Without them, Aasa would not be where he s at right now, and they are the ones who gave us the understanding that Aasa is one of the best hard punchers in boxing, because he knocked some of them out and I believe he will continue to keep his fighting style in the future, Toleafoa said. Many boxing fans around the island shared their thoughts with Samoa News about a boxing match between Aasa and Soi. Soi is the former Samoa cruiserweight champion and the World Boxing Foundation Asia Pacific cruiserweight champion (WBFAP), who has 26 fights in his record, with 24 wins, 2 losses with 16 wins by knockout. Soi lost his last two fights in New Zealand in November 2014 and March 2015 with split decisions. A boxing veteran from Samoa, who has resided here in the Territory for over 30 years, told Samoa News that a match between Aasa and Soi will give the fans the true understanding as to who is the best between the two fighters. From what I ve seen, the Heat Man is the best from American Samoa, and from what I heard, Soi is the top fighter from Samoa and New Zealand, so giving them the chance to fight would be an interesting fight people want to see, said Tautasi Fa alava i, 54 years old, from Lotopa and Fagaloa, who resides in Tafuna with his family.
